This project is truly innovative in its ability to transcend the site's size limitations. It delivers a sense of space and variety of experience throughout, comfortably creating a 3-bedroom home on a single bedroom workers cottage site. Whilst compact design is common in big cities, the typical belief that bigger is better still dominates the Australia mentality. This project delivers a highly sophisticated palette within a well resolved sequence of spaces.
The Bellbird House is a home which captures delight for all senses – each room has a view out and up to the treetops and sky; the sounds of the birdlife, insects and bees, rain on the tin roof and wind through the trees can be heard moving through its spaces; the feel of the warm sun which penetrates the house in summer and the breezes circulated via cross flow ventilation as the house is opened up and the smells of eucalyptus and native grasses make this house a peaceful sanctuary for its clients.
